(2025·广东高二检测)
The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an annoying situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
素能提升练
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly things that happen to our everyday life when someone falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes of people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents (口音), the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The famous Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.
Mr Bean is the role played by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world wouldn’t do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. As a result, British sense of humour has become well known to many people.

(2025·河南驻马店高二联考)
Telling jokes requires intelligence,creativity,imagination and the ability to tell a story,while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but one that demands attention,intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes.Besides,there are also clear similarities between joke tellers and appreciators.A new study takes this further and tries to find other connections between creating humour and appreciating humour.
The author carried on the cartoon caption (字幕) task.159 participants were shown more than 30 cartoons without captions and were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of them.Later,independent judges classified those captions based on how funny they were.
The results showed that those who produced the funniest captions also produced more captions overall.What was more interesting was that creating funny captions was negatively related to appreciation of humour.In other words,funny people tend to find jokes less funny than other people do.It is not clear why this is the case,but it might be because creators of great humour have higher standards of humour creativity and expect higher levels of creativity from people who tell jokes,compared to those who are not so good at creating humour.
Moreover,outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier,but surprisingly,outgoing people are less likely to be funny.This is consistent with my own research that comedians were more introverted than the general population.They usually don’t like to express themselves in social situations.
Appreciation and production of humour are two different cognitive (认知的) tasks,each with unique characteristics.This is why when someone tells you he or she has a great sense of humour,you may ask,“Are you good at telling jokes or do you tend to laugh more?”

If you think your life is too boring to be funny, the joke’s on you: Humor is all around us. Creating more humor in your everyday life is “one of the fastest and most powerful ways to increase overall health and wellbeing,” says Steven M. Sultanoff, a clinical psychologist. 1 .
Figure out what makes you laugh.
Think about what kind of humor appeals to you most, then seek it out as often as possible. Go to comedy shows, spend more time with people who make you laugh, and watch a funny movie. 2 : Create a folder on Instagram where you can save the most amusing videos, and then return to them when you need to.
Identify at least one funny thing a day.
3 , so set a daily intention to look for humor. When you wake up in the morning, say,“I’m going to find one thing today that I can at least smile about.” You’ll likely find the funny in unexpected places.
4 .
Next time you feel down, consider this instruction from Sultanoff. “Tell me about three times you laughed so hard you fell down.” Visualizing a favorite funny moment is like a form of meditation (冥想). You can do it anywhere, and it’s almost guaranteed to boost your mood.
Train yourself to be quick-witted (机灵的).
Sultanoff issued a challenge in his psychotherapy (心理疗法) practice: If a man could go back to his awkward moments, what might he say? The funnier, the better. Sultanoff was always delighted by what his clients came up with. It’s an easy exercise to repeat after uncomfortable experiences. 5 .
A.Take a comedy class
B.Social media can also be useful
C.Relive your favorite funny moment
D.We’re often unaware of what’s in front of us until we start looking for it
E.Below are what Sultanoff suggests about his favorite ways to lighten up everyday life
F.Many of us love to make others laugh, and doing so doesn’t require great comedic skill
G.Brainstorm witty remarks and you’ll train yourself to be able to use them when awkwardness happens
